Has anyone bought one of these new generator? specs are great, and it is available in gas or duel fuel. If you have tell us what you think about it.

I have a 2000 watt Westinghouse inverter. No problems after four years.

Your DO realize that "Westinghouse" consumer stuff is nothing more than LICENSED NAME sold off to the highest bidder?That IS simply a generic Chinese made gen which the name has been licensed to be put on it and it IS expensive to boot at $945.HOME DEPOT WESTINGHOUSE GENThere is no real customer service, no parts service, no real support what so ever so IF you are intent on buying one of these, you BETTER make darn sure that the place you are buying from HAS some sort of service AND parts support..For the price and lack of support, you can get similar gen from Harbor Freight which WILL supply plenty of power for a 30A RV (30A 120 RV shore connection can only use a MAX of 3600W)..HF Pred 3500W Inverter gen$770 at HFConsider this before ever buying ANY generic Chinese made gens..They ARE pretty much all the same, come from China, have limited to no parts or support networks/dealers.In essence, they ARE THROW AWAY DEVICES, when they die they become huge doorstops unless you can find another junked one that doesn't have the same problem. You better be willing and able to diagnose, source parts and repair it yourself.One edit, I should note that even though I do not have a "Westinghouse", I DO have several generic Chinese made gens and have had to do some troubleshooting and repairs to one so when I say, been there, done that, I do mean it.

Yes, they are made in China, but they have support and parts network in the US.Not sure how you get parts for a HF generator.

Westinghouse manufactures some of the world's largest hydroelectric generators -- like one hundred megawatts. The vastness between these monsters and small generators is so large that even if consumers should grow violently opposed to Westinghouse as a brand name it would little affect the parent that signed an agreement that Westinghouse would not sue them for brand name misappropriation. That's exactly how it works.Down here folks purchased condominiums in famous resort locations. The hype was so hysterical ("A ***** Development") that people who wanted in on a half million dollar tower condo had to pay 100% up-front. Steel towers had been erected. The photos of *****'s existing works in the USA were everywhere in the sales office. Then work stopped, the companies went bankrupt, the losers demanded their money back from ***** and he responded: "Who? Me?". And the fact that he made money signing agreements not to sue allowed him to slither away.No this is not about anything other than how the name borrowing works. Nor the surname of the first alpine climber to surmount the world's tallest mountain.The subject is generator brand names. And the Chinese are acutely aware that a translated "Fierce Warrior Butterfly" ain't where it's at.

There is no real customer service, no parts service, no real support what so ever so IF you are intent on buying one of these, you BETTER make darn sure that the place you are buying from HAS some sort of service AND parts support..

For the price and lack of support, you can get similar gen from Harbor Freight which WILL supply plenty of power for a 30A RV (30A 120 RV shore connection can only use a MAX of 3600W)..

HF Pred 3500W Inverter gen

$770 at HF

Consider this before ever buying ANY generic Chinese made gens..

They ARE pretty much all the same, come from China, have limited to no parts or support networks/dealers.

In essence, they ARE THROW AWAY DEVICES, when they die they become huge doorstops unless you can find another junked one that doesn't have the same problem. You better be willing and able to diagnose, source parts and repair it yourself.

One edit, I should note that even though I do not have a "Westinghouse", I DO have several generic Chinese made gens and have had to do some troubleshooting and repairs to one so when I say, been there, done that, I do mean it.
